AN EXCITING RIDE.

A Fipeman's Story OF Trip on the Wabash
with q Mad Engineer While Running
Fifty Miles an Hour.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 29.-Fireman
Roberts, of the Wabash road, arrived here
yesterday and tells thrilling story of his
experience with mad engineer. Engineer
Botsworth appeared to be all right when
the train ran out of this place Tuesday
night, but before they had gone far
Roberts noticed that his companion acted
queerly. The engineers singular conduct
eliminated when the train was near Har-
vey, and running fifty miles an hour. He
attempted to jump through the cab win
dow. The firemen caught him by the legs,
and while he held him on the window
ledge, he managed with his foot to stop
the train. The engineer was guarded in
the baggage car until the train reached
Ottumwa and there turned over to the
authorities. His actions are believed to be
caused by paralysis of the brain.

cherished that the boat they sent over to

good temper, and congratulatea
the conquerers on surprising all

be denied that America has thus far main
tanned the yachting supremacy shown

not be attributed to any fault in the hand
ling of the Thistle, which was admirably
sailed. She yet has chance to win." The
Post believes that if the wind blows strong
enough the Thistle will yet win the race.

a farmer living near Ada, in this State,
about six mon this ago noticed a small sore
coming on his cheek, which in few weeks
assumed malignant form and began eat
ing away the bones of his nose. Local physi-
clans pronounced it CHAMBERS, and said he
had caught it from horse. The effect OF
this was to completely ostracise Lesley.
So fearful of contagion are his neighbors
that he can not dispose of his farm at any
price. Lesley has appealed to the State
Board of Health for an opinion that will,
as he hopes, set aside their fears, and an
agent has been sent to investigate the
case.
